Life copies satire

The Onion, 19 November 2003:

Kenyan President Emilio Mwai Kibaki said Monday that his country continues to enjoy excellent diplomatic relations with former U.S. President Bill Clinton.

"I have always enjoyed working with Mr. Clinton, and the recent international Agricultural Development Conference was no exception," Kibaki said. "And I know that [Democratic Republic of the Congo President] Joseph Kabila enjoyed meeting with him to secure an American commitment for humanitarian aid, as well." Kibaki said that none of the leaders have anything in particular against President Bush, but added that all the same, they'd rather stick with Clinton.

The BBC, 4 August 2009:

Former US President Bill Clinton has met North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during an unannounced visit to the country, state media have reported.

Mr Clinton is in Pyongyang to discuss the fate of jailed US journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee. He is the highest-profile American to visit since his secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, in 2000. US media are reporting that Mr Clinton has met the journalists and hopes are high for their release. Analysts say Mr Clinton may also be trying to ease the deadlock over the North's nuclear ambitions.

The wisdom of crowds

Having collated and meticulously analysed the responses from thirty-five internationally renowned and highly qualified medical specialists, Kim Jong-Il will be pleased to hear that forty per cent concluded he wasn't dead yet, just feeling a bit il.

On the downside, over a quarter thought that he was in fact dead. And slightly over a third neither cared nor knew who he was in the first place.
